We are thrilled to announce the release of the first CODE Souvenir Dundee!
Easy to carry and transport, this catalogue of Dundee designed products brings together a special selection of items which evoke a sense of the city, the stories and the people that make it special. This could be in its subject, its materials, or through the story it tells.

CODE Souvenir is an original concept, developed by our fellow UNESCO City of Design, Montréal and launched in 2010. Since then Montréal have produced five catalogues profiling the wealth of talent in their city, increasing sales, and supporting the economic viability of designers based in their city. We are very happy to celebrate 10 years of Code Souvenir with the launch of Dundee’s first volume in 2020.
Our Desk Officer, Poppy Jarratt said:
“At UNESCO City of Design Dundee, we are so proud to be using the tools and inspiration from Montréal’s Bureau du Design to create CODE Souvenir Dundee. When Dundee was Designated as a UNESCO City of Design in 2014, we were keen to learn from and collaborate with out global network, and CODE Souvenir was something that excited us straight away. After six years of working with our local designers and learning from the Design Cities network, we felt it was time to release our own CODE Souvenir Catalogue to show off and celebrate some of Dundee’s amazing talent. Whether you’re looking to find a gift for a special occasion, a memento as a reminder of Dundee, treats for goodie bags, or even a little treat for yourself – we hope you will enjoy CODE Souvenir Dundee and delighting in what our local designers have produced.
Our colleagues in Montréal have been wonderful in sharing information about this project since we first joined the network and we’ve always had an ambition of producing a version for Dundee. Being able to learn from each other and share ideas is one of the biggest benefits of being a UNESCO City of Design and this is just another example of the ways in which Dundee’s designers are benefiting from our designation.”
